The South Coast

The wild and vibrant nature of the South is an invitation to slow down the pace and make space for oneself. With its beautiful coast, enchanting mountains, nature reserves and picturesque villages, this part of the island is certainly worth a visit. It is the ideal hideaway for those who need a blast of fresh air and a break from this restless world to reconcile with their inner selves.

The South brings about a whole range of emotions: the birds eye view from the Morne Brabant – a UNESCO World Heritage site – will take your breath away; the scenic route from Baie du Cap to Bel Ombre, dotted with quaint fisherman villages, will fill your heart with a sense of serenity;  the wistful charm of Gris-Gris where time seems to slow down, will leave you in a contemplative state; the fiery waves of Le Souffleur crushing upon the cliffs will stir up new energies within you….

Bel Ombre, a splendid domain snuggled between the island’s southern most hills and ocean, is a fabulous playground for kite surfers as it shelters one of the most beautiful spacious lagoons of the island and a 1300 hectare reserve. With consistent winds, large flat water and some of the best waves in the world, Mauritius becomes the ultimate kitesurfing destination from June to October. The lagoon offers protected flat water on the inside as well as waves further out on the reef which protects the entire bay. The wind here generally blows side to side-on shore from the left and the combination of the flat-water lagoon and waves make Bel Ombre suitable for a range of skill levels and riding styles.

Bel Ombre spot showcases one of the most unspoilt and healthy lagoons in Mauritius, with amazing underwater biodiversity, protected and overlooked by local NGO Reef Conservation.
